I think you may have misunderstood me. What I meant was that we shoudn't present ourselves as adversarial and we should try to be the best muslims possible, in both physical and mental meanings.
Yes, but it is better to continue to strive for Allah than to give up and take the easy way out.
Salaam,
can you explain when you say,you have done everthing you can?
What have you done to defend the Prophet or any Prophet honour?
By keeping silent and point out to those who feel their faith maligned and outraged,and tell them ..you are worng ,this is not Islam.
Then perhaps you shoudl teach us in islam how do we honour our Prophet ?
And when you say we should not present ourselves as adversarial,the question is,why then provoke us? INTENTIONALLY?
Who is adversarial?
To strive for Allah than to take the easy way out.
To defend Allah,the Prophet went to the Mecca,and destroyed the idols ringing Mecca.
To defend the Prophet the muslim then fight to keep his honour and any disgrace or ipertinece were seeked and out and discussed,when it is apparent they were aggresive,war ensues.
Do you not know of the battles the Prophet fought?
Do you not death of the Quraish who maligned and disrepected the Prophet with vile proses and so on?
So can you tell me,in light of the way the Propeht and companions of the Prophet defended his honour,how should we do it now?
When the other party does not listen,but are provoking at every turn.
Do we become malise,and take it in our stride,such that such vile comment become common place?
Will then onyl will you act?Will then onyl will you speak out?
too late too late..
A story,a muslim was praying and foudn another man whom was the devil in disguise praying,and he was so devout.
The man was astonished,how do you become so ?
the deveil answered for i repented and followed the wrong path,and understanding the ill i now understand the light.
So the man thought ,is that the way,then he started to fornicate,take durg and all the vileness,and worse dishonour the Prophet and Allah.
But never did once did he reutrn to prayer,for he is already accustomed to vileness.
As an Imam say,when you are coming from a garden to astinkiy room,you will grimace with distaste,but in tie that foulness becomes you and you become it..
Oh moderate muslim.,,,awaken from petrified state and be part of the Ummah...
